And they have even asked Yvette Fielding – star of TV spook hunt show Most Haunted – to come in and check the place out. In tweets from the official Stansted Police Twitter feed, one worried worker said he was convinced the place was haunted.

He said: “When you are leaving a remote police station that’s empty & you can hear doors slamming! Where’s @Yfielding when you need her!! #panic” He then added: “Turned all the lights out, walking downstairs & could hear doors slamming on 1st floor!”

HAUNTED: Britain is already known to have a collection of spooky cop shops

The freaked-out officer went on to say he had also experienced creepy goings-on at other stations, including Epping and Rochford, in Essex. He added: “Epping or Rochford were the worst! I think @essexPoliceUK need a visit from #mosthaunted.”

Spence Worth replied: “Witham Station was like that. It was previously a funeral parlour #neverransoquick.”

Yvette Fielding, who has presented Most Haunted since 2002, was quick to re-tweet the exchange.

Stansted, in Essex, is the UK’s fourth busiest airport, with 17.5million passengers each year. It has a team of dedicated officers based in a station near the runway.

APPARITIONS: There are reports of apparitions at stations like Bexhill and East Sussex

Britain is already known to have a collection of spooky cop shops. There are reports of apparitions at stations in Bexhill, East Sussex, where an Edwardian man appears, and at Bramshill House police college in Hampshire, which has a grey lady and a ghostly bride.

The police stations at Chipping Campden, in Gloucestershire, and Eye, Suffolk, have also had unexplained happenings which have left witnesses baffled.

A spokesman for Essex Police yesterday declined to comment on the Twitter exchange.
